Furthermore, your timeshare reviews can be trusted to show less bias than any other source.

Your experience with the timeshare industry was likely negative, but we want to hear about any positives as well. While our tone may seem overwhelmingly harsh, we love reading timeshare reviews that provide the other side of the coin. Not every member of the timeshare industry is a heartless monster, and most do not want to see their clients suffer.

If you have has a positive experience with a resort or company, we want to hear that timeshare review more than anything, because they are indeed quite rare.

A Consumer Warning

Timeshare Reviews

Positive timeshare reviews are extremely rare because in this industry, profit reigns supreme, often at the expense of the consuming public. Positive timeshare reviews can provide tips for other timeshare owners in similar situations. However, negative timeshare reviews are equally important, because they serve as a warning towards your fellow man. If you could go back and be warned against signing a timeshare contract, your current situation would likely be much better. We are trying to create a community where we all look out for each other, and your timeshare reviews accomplish this in a way previously considered impossible. Please contribute to our community by submitting your own timeshare review today!

The Same Dirty Tricks as all Timeshare Scams

Starwood Timeshare Reviews

Starwood is a global timeshare company in the mold of Hilton and Marriott timeshares in that they are all also global hotel giants. Starwood timeshares is under the same umbrella corporation as such renowned hotels as Westin and Sheraton, which are fantastic resorts located in pristine locations. Much like Marriott and Hilton timeshares, Starwood reaps the benefits of the grand reputation and position these companies enjoy in the hotel business. However, Starwood timeshare reviews are plagued with the same complaints as these other timeshare companies as well.

While Marriott and Hilton are notorious in the timeshare industry for outrageous pricing and an inability to book a reservation months in advance, Starwood timeshare reviews focus on rate hikes and hidden fees more than anything else. Many Starwood timeshare reviews complain of an aggressive payment policy that becomes increasingly expensive every single year. Timeshare owners sign up with Starwood believing they will be paying a reasonable amount for their resort destination. Nothing is further from the truth.

One particularly angry Starwood timeshare owner posted in his review that he had signed a contract where fees were originally $1,300 per year. Starwood timeshares has raised his fees to over $2,500 a year, and have no intention of slowing down. Starwood timeshare reviews paint a disturbing picture for any timeshare owner, and these stories should serve as a major warning to potential victims.

Inability To Book Reservations: For One’s Own Hilton Timeshare!

Hilton timeshare reviews are plentiful throughout the industry, but every single complaint helps. The more consumers take a stand and voice their outrage with Hilton and other timeshare scams, the more likely real change can be accomplished. You can submit your own Hilton timeshare reviews in our resort review section and help warn others about the dangers of Hilton timeshare ownership.

Hilton timeshare reviews are everywhere, and there is a very common thread. Many customers complain about the typical fraudulent activity with timeshares in their Hilton reviews such as high-pressure sales tactics and large hidden fees. However, the dominant complaint in Hilton timeshare reviews is a complete lack of availability and the resulting loss of vacation time for families with Hilton contracts.

Customers are “Lucky” to Use Their Hilton Timeshare in any Given Year

Hilton timeshare Reviews

The most startling Hilton timeshare review I came across described a hard-working family who, like many others, were lured into a contract with a flashy timeshare presentation. After signing the timeshare contract with Hilton under duress, they have only been able to actually use their timeshare once in 4 years.

This is an incredible outrage for any timeshare reviewer, and it seems issues like this are very common with Hilton. To add insult to injury, the only year this family was able to use their timeshare, Hilton charged them a $70 booking fee. To use their own timeshare. This Hilton timeshare review advised that if you are ever thinking about purchasing a Hilton timeshare, you are much better served by simply booking a hotel.

These Hilton timeshare reviews make it very clear that this company is injuring their own customers immensely. If you have your own Hilton timeshare review, please share it with us or leave a comment below! Do not let Hilton get away with this.

Marriott has become one of the largest and most recognized name in the industry, and there are endless reviews available across the internet. If you have had valuable experience in dealing with Marriott or any other timeshare resort, we are always looking for your expertise and advice for other customers. Submitting a timeshare review is the most helpful thing you can do for unwitting customers who are considering purchasing a timeshare.

Marriott is widely known and respected as an organization, but the timeshare industry is synonymous with fraud and deceit, so it is no wonder that reviews are often mixed. Marriott timeshare reviews actually tend to be more positive than most, but customers still overwhelmingly advise to stay as far away from timeshares as possible.

How are Marriott Timeshare Reviews Different?

Marriott Timeshare Reviews

Marriott timeshare reviews are different than the majority of timeshare reviews in several ways. The more positive tone from customer reviews remark that Marriott offers many beautiful locations, friendly staff, and clean facilities. Marriott timeshare reviews rarely denote disappointment with the physical aspects of these timeshares. This is a far cry from timeshare reviews that complain about poor service, dilapidated facilities, and poor vacation destinations.

However, the majority of Marriott timeshare reviews are still very negative. The same fraudulent business practices that run rampant throughout the industry are still very much in effect. Hidden fees, inflexible contracts, and an inability to sell the timeshare are all still associated with Marriott timeshares. This can actually be a double blow. Because Marriott timeshare reviews are filled with praise for the facilities, this often comes with much higher hidden fees than other timeshare resorts.

If you have had experience with Marriott timeshares, please comment or submit a timeshare review of your own.
